+Duck Duck Have you ever seen something and think "That fits SO WELL with something else I know"? Well, this song fits the Imperial Guard (Or Astra Militarum THANKS A LOT, GEEDUBS) because... 1.

Eggdrasil Warthog The god crap did get annoying, but I like how they made a mockery of religion, and showed how it can (has, many times) become corrupted by governments to help control people.
You just know this guy was a master of propaganda when I can watch this and be inspired enough to start tearing up with pride for my species and also want to enlist in an army that doesn't actually exist (bonus points for making me still want to do it even knowing the Federation is super fascist)
+Xavier Camacho I don't think you really question your government's actions when All of Humanity is threatened by BIG FRIGGING BUGS. Lock N Load men! But seriously, things like this prove that a strong charisma can lead to great things. A leader doesn't quite need to be a strong man (Though it's usually a good idea), if he is charismatic enough, men will fight to the very end under his command.
+Z. Schroeder Actually it is an oligarchy whose ruling cast is made up of volunteer soldiers. Basically if you choose to serve in the military you gain the rights of a citizen. Better than letting the rich or political elite who have never put their lives on the line running everything.
I agree Marshall. But on the other hand it means by and large goals are largely militaristic. With the economy largely going towards funding greater weapons of war.... One has to wonder what would happen if the Federation didn't have such a convenient common enemy.
FIrst time I saw this song in the movie, I laughed so hard I almost fell from my chair.. But it stuck in my head, so I searched it on UA-cam. After playing it for the 3rd time, it stopped being funny and ironic, and became a really awesome song! :)
This might be the most anti-Heinlein thing the Starship Troopers films came up with since Raczak shot one of his own men, but it makes the third movie worth watching. Along with the Mobile Infantry finally getting their Marauder suits.
This song and first and last 15 minutes of the movie was enjoyable. And some of the jokes. Across the federation, federal experts agree that: A: God exists after all, B: He's on our side, C: He wants us to win!
it didn't fail. The point was to make it as propaganda as possible and have people get hyped up to give their life for a federation literally built on violence, imperialism and suppression of personal freedom. By watching the original movie a few times you understand, if you feel patriotic after seeing it, the movie done it's magic fooling you.
^It did fail. The director is a marxist and did not even bother to read the book at all because: ”I stopped after two chapters because it was so boring … It is really quite a bad book. I asked Ed Neumeier to tell me the story because I just couldn't read the thing. It's a very right-wing book.” He didn’t care to read because it sounded righ-wingish and then proceeded to try to make it ridiculous
Most satire flicks have a characters change and reflect. Starship Troopers does this in reverse. Which is what makes it great. They start of young and innocent. And are then corrupted by the system. Europeans understood it was about Fascism right away.
@@tyskbulle Good observation! I never thought about it this way, how Europeans would react completely different than Americans to this movie. Makes a lot of sense now for me personally
The movie is awesome, you just have to appreciate it for what it is, and not mistake it for something that it is not. Words fail to describe the song and the music video...

Courage Duty Honor We call upon our troopers, in this our darkest hour, our Oligarchs are whom we're fighting for! The gas that flows beneath us, enriches them each day, And kills our very best every single day!
After the train-wreck-abortion that was the second Starship Troopers movie, this third one was actually pretty good. Been ridiculously over the top, never taking themselves seriously and always been tongue in cheek. Hell they even got Casper Van Dien to reprise his role (not that that was hard, I mean he was probably begging them for the work, but at least they went to the effort).
I just bought this one today. I laughed my ass off at this song because I didn't expect it, especially the "Courage! Duty! Honor!" part after "it's a good day to die!" Both of those had me rolling on the floor laughing, and then the religious part? Ooooh man, did THAT get me going. Highly unexpected. Thumbs up for the humor if you see any in it!
FACT: the mobile infantry eventually becomes the imperial guard! the marauder project inspires the dreadnaughts. the need for effective medics has encouraged the abilities of the apothecary
Not to mention the real Federation (from the books) would have wiped the floor with these bugs, and probably the Imperium of Man, as well. If they wanted, they'd just glass everything as long as there is limited collateral damage.
@@Zachomara My man i have read the books aswell, but there is no way, that the federation would wipe the floor with the Imperium of Man. They would lose against the Imperial Navy with their highly destructive weaponry and sheer mass of ships and whilst they might be able to hold their ground for a while against the Imperial Guard they would eventually fall when the big guns like the titanlegions of the Adeptus Mechanicus, superheavy tanks (baneblade etc) or the astartes arrive. Not to mention the highly trained assasins, that among other things are capable of blowing your face of from an incredible distance, perfectly imitating your friends etc that will cause havoc and confusion in your command structure. And let´s just imagine for a moment, that they survive all of that, there are still the Legion of the Damned and Saint Celestine the Emperors bride to finish the job. And whilst they could glass a planet of the Imperium, the Imperium could order Exterminatus on the Worlds of the Federation avoiding a ground fight alltogether. For you shall not suffer a traitor to the Imperium to live. I recommend you to watch this ua-cam.com/video/Z9xMnVfg_n0/v-deo.html in order to get a faint idea of how strong and big the Imperium really is. Please excuse the wall of text, but i feel that it is highly unlikely for any fantasy universe to wipe the floor with 40 k. Yes they might put up a fight,but i doubt that they have a real chance at winning.
There's one part that both Star Trek and the book versions of the Federation have that the Imperium doesn't. It's the ability to fight at or near FTL. That fact alone can cause massive damage. The Terran Federation in Starship Troopers, though, would probably hit the Imperium's hulking, slow ships like a hammer and retreat into FTL before they can even respond, through their FTL that the Imperium would not be able to pursue into due to the dependency on the Emperor's warp construct being the only way to go FTL (different system of FTL).
Imperial Starships regularly fight Tau vessels, which can do all that stuff, know how they win? They use the ships onboard Navigator {A sort of very powerful diviner psyker} to send scry they're position from 5 lightminutes out and send a barrage from farther than they can scan, the Federation from Starship Troopers has no chance because they have real world sensor tech LIDAR, RADAR, etc etc, the Star Trek Feds are much more soft science so they can get away with impossible sensor ranges and stuff like that.
Your units in a RTS game before they roll out of your base: (insert this song) The enemy “same” Your hero unit who died twice in this match alone: “first time?”
Ken ibn Anak LOL this song is like, the cheesiest in all of film making! It's so bad it's laughable! It's catchy but soooo bad; both the movie and this song are terrible. But it's all entertainingly bad.
Like putting the knife into the trooper's hand wasn't satire? Or the song in 2 wasn't? But essentially I agree. WW2 style propaganda taken to a new level.
+ Daniel Appleton The book wasn't really fascist. The Terran Federation was militaristic and expansionist, but not really despotic or bigoted. They had free speech and religious tolerance. So calling them fascist is misleading.
Not joking, I love all the Starship Troopers movies even if the 2nd and 3rd are terribly bad or just bad. I guess it's due to nostalgia of watching it with my Grandfather and these are basically the many few things I have to remember him besides a few games he use to own. I know they're bad, but I can't help but like em.
I love how this song and Starship Troopers as a whole can make people want to go out and get shit done. Say what you will about the Federation being fascist (it isn't read the book completely) the fact that just the concept of such a society makes people want to be the best they can be is awe inspiring and fascinating.
Verhoven never read the book, and it shows. He assumed that Heinlein was presenting this as an "ideal" society. Starship Troopers is already a satirical political statement. The CG cartoon (Roughnecks) was pretty good, too.
@@Shr3dd3r2k8 Its not satirical at all, its a possible (not finalized) solution to the problems of universal sufferage republics, societies where people with no actual stake in society have power over it. People don't get what satire is, you are no exception.

Eggdrasil Warthog The god crap did get annoying, but I like how they made a mockery of religion, and showed how it can (has, many times) become corrupted by governments to help control people.
@@zombieguyproducion The Second Movie was the best of the series Quality-to-budget-wise :P they made it on like 22 Grand.

Let’s be honest, if humanity did have a common, legit, black and white reason to fight, we would know world peace.
For the emperor we give our best until we have no more to give!
You just know this guy was a master of propaganda when I can watch this and be inspired enough to start tearing up with pride for my species and also want to enlist in an army that doesn't actually exist (bonus points for making me still want to do it even knowing the Federation is super fascist)
+Xavier Camacho I don't think you really question your government's actions when All of Humanity is threatened by BIG FRIGGING BUGS. Lock N Load men! But seriously, things like this prove that a strong charisma can lead to great things. A leader doesn't quite need to be a strong man (Though it's usually a good idea), if he is charismatic enough, men will fight to the very end under his command.
I feel the same
+Z. Schroeder Actually it is an oligarchy whose ruling cast is made up of volunteer soldiers. Basically if you choose to serve in the military you gain the rights of a citizen. Better than letting the rich or political elite who have never put their lives on the line running everything.
I agree Marshall. But on the other hand it means by and large goals are largely militaristic. With the economy largely going towards funding greater weapons of war.... One has to wonder what would happen if the Federation didn't have such a convenient common enemy.
yea it was very persuasive
Blasting this as my fanatical militarist, egalitarian human empire takes on the unbidden in Stellaris.
FIrst time I saw this song in the movie, I laughed so hard I almost fell from my chair.. But it stuck in my head, so I searched it on UA-cam. After playing it for the 3rd time, it stopped being funny and ironic, and became a really awesome song! :)
Who came here after playing Helldivers 2😂😂😂
But this world is not democracy. Here fasist country
POV : you noticed that the artist that sang this song, is actually a traitor helping the bugs in starship troopers marauders
This might be the most anti-Heinlein thing the Starship Troopers films came up with since Raczak shot one of his own men, but it makes the third movie worth watching.
Along with the Mobile Infantry finally getting their Marauder suits.

Finally someone with some sense.People on here are sniveling soy boys.
This song is stuck in my head
I thought the third was better than the second.
it was better, not only because of the returned Colonel Rico
Also because it focused on the theme that Fascism is closer than we think.
WolfDemon1314 yeah and it was 10 times funnier than the second. Starship Troopers was quite funny, and part two was too serious
WolfDemon1314 waaaaay better
WolfDemon1314 No, that was not at all what it focused on.
This song and first and last 15 minutes of the movie was enjoyable. And some of the jokes.
Across the federation, federal experts agree that: A: God exists after all, B: He's on our side, C: He wants us to win!
FOR THE IMPERIAL GUARD!
Starship troopers failed hard on satire. It made songs that make people feel actually more patriotic
it didn't fail. The point was to make it as propaganda as possible and have people get hyped up to give their life for a federation literally built on violence, imperialism and suppression of personal freedom. By watching the original movie a few times you understand, if you feel patriotic after seeing it, the movie done it's magic fooling you.
^It did fail. The director is a marxist and did not even bother to read the book at all because: ”I stopped after two chapters because it was so boring … It is really quite a bad book. I asked Ed Neumeier to tell me the story because I just couldn't read the thing. It's a very right-wing book.”
He didn’t care to read because it sounded righ-wingish and then proceeded to try to make it ridiculous
@@MADARA66613 If that's the case, this makes it even more funny. Because to me it's blatant satire but disguised very well.
Most satire flicks have a characters change and reflect.
Starship Troopers does this in reverse. Which is what makes it great.
They start of young and innocent. And are then corrupted by the system.
Europeans understood it was about Fascism right away.
@@tyskbulle Good observation! I never thought about it this way, how Europeans would react completely different than Americans to this movie. Makes a lot of sense now for me personally
I'm singing this while playing Stellaris, pretty awesome
This song is beautiful, all citizens should feel inspired when listening to it.
This bops way more than it has any right to
The movie is awesome, you just have to appreciate it for what it is, and not mistake it for something that it is not. Words fail to describe the song and the music video...
all for democracy helldrivers2
Singing along to this 4 years later. Cheesy,catchy and awesome. ST needs a reboot!
I have just recently saw ST 1,2,3 and Traitor of Mars and I learn one thing - For the Federation I will give my life and if I die I will reborn as Dreadnought!
Even in death I still serve
2:13
I’ve always loved that imagery of a halo
Always crack me up. :) also the statement in the movie: "a) god exist, b) he is on our side, c) and he wants us to win!"
Religion is ok.
Peace is not.
I played this song the morning before every exam during my studies
How did you do?
@@mantisracingchannel3910 well actually i managed to pass every exam and become biology teacher as i planned to, but in the end i quit my job and now here i am studying again ... :)
@@styx2470 Wow, fits the "When Duty Calls You Pay The Price" parts of the song, either way GL
@@That-Comrade555 haha never thought about that, it was more the "its a good day to die" part that was a good match with an exam day in my mind ! thx man :)
Courage
Duty
Honor
We call upon our troopers, in this our darkest hour, our Oligarchs are whom we're fighting for!
The gas that flows beneath us, enriches them each day,
And kills our very best every single day!
"You're not alive unless you're almost dying"- That's almost Orwell level doublethink: Awesome.
I mean, it kinda makes sense.
Heard that in near death situations when adrenaline starts pumping you do in fact feel very alive
@@amberprice9003 True but its still an insanely contradictory statement.
@@DarthAzabrush There's literally nothing contradictory or orwellian about it. You're just fucking stupid.
Sartre?
“Would you like to know more?”
God is back, and he is on our side!
The motto of every religious nation
After the train-wreck-abortion that was the second Starship Troopers movie, this third one was actually pretty good. Been ridiculously over the top, never taking themselves seriously and always been tongue in cheek. Hell they even got Casper Van Dien to reprise his role (not that that was hard, I mean he was probably begging them for the work, but at least they went to the effort).
2 had its moments. PERIMETER BURN. PERIMETER BURN.
I just bought this one today. I laughed my ass off at this song because I didn't expect it, especially the "Courage! Duty! Honor!" part after "it's a good day to die!" Both of those had me rolling on the floor laughing, and then the religious part? Ooooh man, did THAT get me going. Highly unexpected. Thumbs up for the humor if you see any in it!

FACT: the mobile infantry eventually becomes the imperial guard! the marauder project inspires the dreadnaughts. the need for effective medics has encouraged the abilities of the apothecary
Nah, the starship trooper universe doesnt have females breeding like rabbits yet to make the imperial guard conscripts.
Not to mention the real Federation (from the books) would have wiped the floor with these bugs, and probably the Imperium of Man, as well. If they wanted, they'd just glass everything as long as there is limited collateral damage.
@@Zachomara My man i have read the books aswell, but there is no way, that the federation would wipe the floor with the Imperium of Man. They would lose against the Imperial Navy with their highly destructive weaponry and sheer mass of ships and whilst they might be able to hold their ground for a while against the Imperial Guard they would eventually fall when the big guns like the titanlegions of the Adeptus Mechanicus, superheavy tanks (baneblade etc) or the astartes arrive. Not to mention the highly trained assasins, that among other things are capable of blowing your face of from an incredible distance, perfectly imitating your friends etc that will cause havoc and confusion in your command structure. And let´s just imagine for a moment, that they survive all of that, there are still the Legion of the Damned and Saint Celestine the Emperors bride to finish the job. And whilst they could glass a planet of the Imperium, the Imperium could order Exterminatus on the Worlds of the Federation avoiding a ground fight alltogether. For you shall not suffer a traitor to the Imperium to live. I recommend you to watch this ua-cam.com/video/Z9xMnVfg_n0/v-deo.html in order to get a faint idea of how strong and big the Imperium really is.
Please excuse the wall of text, but i feel that it is highly unlikely for any fantasy universe to wipe the floor with 40 k. Yes they might put up a fight,but i doubt that they have a real chance at winning.
There's one part that both Star Trek and the book versions of the Federation have that the Imperium doesn't. It's the ability to fight at or near FTL. That fact alone can cause massive damage. The Terran Federation in Starship Troopers, though, would probably hit the Imperium's hulking, slow ships like a hammer and retreat into FTL before they can even respond, through their FTL that the Imperium would not be able to pursue into due to the dependency on the Emperor's warp construct being the only way to go FTL (different system of FTL).
Imperial Starships regularly fight Tau vessels, which can do all that stuff, know how they win? They use the ships onboard Navigator {A sort of very powerful diviner psyker} to send scry they're position from 5 lightminutes out and send a barrage from farther than they can scan, the Federation from Starship Troopers has no chance because they have real world sensor tech LIDAR, RADAR, etc etc, the Star Trek Feds are much more soft science so they can get away with impossible sensor ranges and stuff like that.
Man this space-force recruitment ad is awesome.
im not crying, i got something in my eye
This is going straight on my deployment mix
Your units in a RTS game before they roll out of your base: (insert this song)
The enemy “same”
Your hero unit who died twice in this match alone: “first time?”
I totally agree with OP. If the movie had been half as good as this song and montage, it would and could have been a GREAT movie.
Ken ibn Anak Entire budget spent on the song
Ken ibn Anak LOL this song is like, the cheesiest in all of film making! It's so bad it's laughable! It's catchy but soooo bad; both the movie and this song are terrible. But it's all entertainingly bad.
Like putting the knife into the trooper's hand wasn't satire? Or the song in 2 wasn't? But essentially I agree. WW2 style propaganda taken to a new level.
+SpaghettiandSauce
Delete my comment one more time and I'm going to troll your ass.

We have the songs.
We have the autotuners.
We need artists
Every time I watch this vid it makes me feel proud being a citizen of the Imperium of Man😊
Subtlety is dead, we killed it.
Because It was a Bug.
Great now i will hear this song everytime i hear sarge from red vs blue say today is a good day to die
Well, I know what I'm doing this weekend: giving my life for the Federation! GLORY, DUTY, HONOUR!
I just realized that this song could very well be the theme song of the United Federation of Planets, from Star Trek
+ Daniel Appleton The book wasn't really fascist. The Terran Federation was militaristic and expansionist, but not really despotic or bigoted. They had free speech and religious tolerance. So calling them fascist is misleading.
Maybe it suits better to Section 31.
Or kdf
Since today is a good day to die
Ok..eddington...
This is EVERY GOVERNMENTS DREAM

I love this song
Starship Troopers, a truly missunderstood universe
Not joking, I love all the Starship Troopers movies even if the 2nd and 3rd are terribly bad or just bad. I guess it's due to nostalgia of watching it with my Grandfather and these are basically the many few things I have to remember him besides a few games he use to own.
I know they're bad, but I can't help but like em.
Thats why its so good, something so corny, so bad so stupid in many ways and yet you keep coming back to it :P
@@7svn. Exactly.
I love how this song and Starship Troopers as a whole can make people want to go out and get shit done.
Say what you will about the Federation being fascist (it isn't read the book completely) the fact that just the concept of such a society makes people want to be the best they can be is awe inspiring and fascinating.
Verhoven never read the book, and it shows. He assumed that Heinlein was presenting this as an "ideal" society. Starship Troopers is already a satirical political statement.
The CG cartoon (Roughnecks) was pretty good, too.
@@Shr3dd3r2k8 Its not satirical at all, its a possible (not finalized) solution to the problems of universal sufferage republics, societies where people with no actual stake in society have power over it. People don't get what satire is, you are no exception.
